Arabian Crowns Memorable Day For Dubawi With Zetland Rout

Charlie Appleby trainee Arabian Crown (Fr) (Dubawi {Ire}–Dubai Rose {GB}, by Dubai Destination), a €600,000 Arqana August purchase, provided Godolphin with a third straight win in Salisbury's Listed Stonehenge S. when last seen and duly obliged in Saturday's G3 Ghaiyyath Zetland S. at Newmarket to become the operation's third straight winner of the 10-furlong contest.

The 10-11 favourite, who backed up a debut third at Sandown with a breakthrough score back there in July, was the sharpest of four into stride and seized an immediate lead. Turning the screw in effortless fashion inside the final half-mile, he was beyond recall passing the quarter-mile marker and raced in splendid isolation thereafter before gearing down nearing the line to easily account for Gaspar De Lemos (Ire) (Justify) by an untroubled 5 1/2 lengths.

Pedigree Notes

Arabian Crown, the latest of nine foals, is one of seven scorers produced by Listed Kolner Stuten-Trophy victrix Dubai Rose (GB) (Dubai Destination), herself a half-sister to G2 Pretty Polly S. victrix Hanami (GB) (Hernando {Fr}) and Listed Grosser Dresdner Sachsischer Herbst Preis winner Soho Rose (Ire) (Hernando {Fr}). Soho Rose, in turn, is the dam of G1 Prix de Royallieu heroine Sea La Rosa (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), G2 Great Voltigeur S. and G3 Bahrain Trophy victor Deauville Legend (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) and the Group 3-placed Dean Street Doll (Ire) (Oasis Dream {GB}). The February-foaled bay is a full-brother to the stakes-winning Everest Rose (GB) and a half to MGSW G1 Prix Vermeille third The Juliet Rose (Fr) (Monsun {Ger}) and the dual stakes-placed Pocketfullofdreams (Fr) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}).

Dubawi’s Ancient Wisdom Powers To Autumn Triumph

Godolphin's €2-million Arqana August 'TDN Rising Star' Ancient Wisdom (Fr) (Dubawi {Ire}–Golden Valentine {Fr}, by Dalakhani {Ire}), who ran third to subsequent G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagradere victor Rosallion (Ire) (Blue Point {Ire}) in July's Listed Pat Eddery S., came back off a 77-day sabbatical to trounce his six-strong opposition in Saturday's Emirates Autumn S. at Newmarket.

Positioned off the clear leader in third until taking closer order once past halfway, the 2-1 joint-favourite seized control approaching the final furlong and powered clear of toiling rivals up the hill to easily outpoint Chief Little Rock (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) by an impressive 3 3/4 lengths. Ancient Wisdom had previously followed up a taking debut performance at Haydock in June with a second triumph, under a six-pound penalty, at Newmarket's July track.

“We were disappointed that we were beat at Ascot, but that race worked out so well you couldn't really be disappointed in it,” commented Charlie Appleby. “I've probably mismanaged him running him back at Newmarket. He broke his maiden at Haydock Park and I went to Newmarket thinking I could try and get a bit more experience. He is a Dubawi and I was probably forcing him a bit too much so, after Ascot, we said collectively we will give him a break and we toyed with this and the Zetland. I told William [Buick] he is a horse that will travel for fun stepping up a furlong and also the conditions out there were going to suit him. I said to ride him with mega confidence, to sit up there and travel in the van as he will pick up for you, and he has duly obliged. He is a horse next year that will be a middle-distance type. He is a horse that I do feel a mile-and-a-quarter will be well within his compass and I personally think he will appreciate going a mile-and-a-half. He is a Dubawi and, as we know with those middle-distance Dubawis, you can't force them too much in the spring of their 3-year-old career, so therefore something like the [G2] Dante might be a target for him. We will see where we are in the spring, but we have a long winter ahead of us now. It is nice to be able to put these horses to bed on the back of an impressive victory.”

Pedigree Notes

Ancient Wisdom, full to a weanling colt and half to a yearling colt by Lope De Vega (Ire), is the third of five foals and one of two scorers produced by G3 Prix Minerve winner Golden Valentine (Fr) (Dalakhani {Ire}), herself one of seven stakes performers out of G3 Prix Cleopatre victrix Gold Round (Ire) (Caerleon). Golden Valentine's siblings include her G3 Prix du Lys-winning full-brother Goldwaki (Ger), GIII Robert J Frankel S. victrix and GI Rodeo Drive S. runner-up Luck (Kitten's Joy) and the dam of G3 Prix Vanteaux winner and GI E P Taylor S. third Platane (GB) (Le Havre {Ire}). Gold Round, in turn, is a half-sister to storied multiple champion and three-time GI Breeders' Cup Mile heroine Goldikova (Ire) (Anabaa), G1 Prix Vermeille victrix Galikova (Fr) (Galileo {Ire}) and multiple Group 1-placed sire Anodin (Ire) (Anabaa). Golden Valentine was a €520,000 purchase at Arqana's 2012 December Broodmare sale.

Dubawi’s Dance Sequence Pounces Late For Oh So Sharp Triumph

Charlie Appleby had yet to taste success in Newmarket's G3 Godolphin Lifetime Care Oh So Sharp S., but made a first dent on the seven-furlong contest when Godolphin's hitherto undefeated homebred Dance Sequence (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}–Tearless {GB}, by Street Cry {Ire}) pounced late to maintain her perfect record.

The 4-1 chance, who prevailed over the same trip on debut at HQ's summer venue at the beginning of July, recovered from a slightly tardy start to race in sixth, but slipped to last of the seven contenders soon after passing halfway. Bustled along to reduce arrears approaching the two pole, she moved into third entering the final furlong and kept on relentlessly under continued urging in the closing stages to deny Juddmonte's 7-4 favourite Skellet (Ire) (Kingman {GB}) by a neck in the dying strides.

“She was impressive on her debut and William [Buick] has had confidence going into both races,” explained Appleby. “He planned to drop her in, but I told him to be careful as there is a tailwind and don't let them get free on the front end. I thought, at one stage, he might not be happy with the position he was in, but she answers every question. He looked after her through the dip and up the hill, but she picks up well when she does it. We purposely gave her a gap [between races] as she is a big, scopey filly. We've given her time to come here and get this assignment done. We'll put her away for the winter and dream about running her in some Guineas trials next year. She has a bit more to go before we look at her as a serious [G1] 1000 Guineas contender, but she is on the right path and she will most definitely get further.”

Pedigree Notes

Dance Sequence is the sixth of eight foals and one of four winners from as many runners produced by Listed Fleur de Lys Fillies' S. victrix Tearless (GB) (Street Cry {Ire}), herself a full-sister to GII Orchid S. victrix Anjaz out of G1 Fillies' Mile heroine Playful Act (Ire) (Sadler's Wells). Playful Act is one of three elite-level scorers out of G3 Musidora S.-winning matriarch Magnificient Style (Silver Hawk), the others being MG1SW sire Nathaniel (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and G1 Irish Oaks heroine Great Heavens (GB) (Galileo {Ire}). The March-foaled homebred bay is a half-sister to Listed Grosser Preis des Gestuts Etzean victrix Romantic Song (Ire) (Shamardal) and Listed Abu Dhabi Championship third New Comedy (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}). Tearless has a yearling colt by Farhh (GB) and a weanling filly by Palace Pier (GB) to come.

Inquisitively Makes All For Cornwallis Success, First Group Winner For Ten Sovereigns

Wee Sean Gan's Inquisitively (GB) (Ten Sovereigns {Ire}–Ballyalla {GB}, by Mind Games {GB}), fresh off a breakthrough score in York's Listed Roses S., continued on the upgrade with a pillar-to-post victory in Friday's Newmarket Academy Godolphin Beacon Project Cornwallis S. at Newmarket, becoming the first pattern-race winner for his freshman sire (by No Nay Never).

The 10-3 second choice had hit the board for Ollie Sangster in Royal Ascot's Listed Windsor Castle S., in his penultimate start, and broke sharply from the far-side stall to seize an immediate lead in this five-furlong dash. Unflustered on the front end until shaken up soon after passing the quarter-mile marker, he held a decisive advantage entering the final furlong and was ridden out up the hill to comfortably hold Rosario (GB) (Harry Angel {Ire}) by 1 1/2 lengths for a career high.

“I wasn't that confident beforehand, but he is a very tough horse,” commented trainer Kevin Philippart de Foy after securing a career high of his own. “He took the lead and grabbed the race from the get go. When I saw three horses in line halfway through the race I was a bit worried, but he breathes very well and relaxes. When William [Buick] asked him to quicken up he put it to bed very nicely. I think he is a five-furlong horse, but we will probably have to try the six [furlongs] later down the line. I feel he has got bags of speed, and he jumped so well today he took a length out of them from the stalls. He was sold to go to Hong Kong, but for the time being he is staying here. I would love to keep him, but we will have to speak to the owner. We've had a couple of Listed winners, but I wanted a Group winner this year and I was very keen to get a 2-year-old Group winner, so it is job done. The next step is a Group 2 or Group 1. The [Nov. 3 GI] Breeders' Cup [Juvenile Turf Sprint] is a possibility and we will have to discuss it, but it is not out of the question.”

Pedigree Notes

Inquisitively, the seventh of eight foals, is one of three scorers produced by a winning half-sister to G2 Temple S. victrix Priceless (GB) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}) and G2 Mill Reef S. runner-up Doctor Brown (GB) (Dr Fong). He shares his second dam Molly Brown (GB) (Rudimentary) with G3 Chipchase S. victor Aeolus (GB) (Araafa (Ire) and Listed Golden Rose S. third Hezmah (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}). Molly Brown, in turn, is a half-sister to Listed Premio Nearco victor Stato King (GB) (Statoblest {Ire}) with this being the family of G1 Tattersalls Gold Cup heroine Rebelline (Ire) (Robellino). The March-foaled bay is a half-brother to Listed Cathedral S. and Listed Boadicea S. third Pixieleen (GB) (Pastoral Pursuits {GB}) and a weanling colt by Havana Grey (GB). He is also kin to the dam of last month's Listed Beverley Bullet Sprint winner Kerdos (Ire) (Profitable {Ire}) and the stakes-placed Dark Vintage (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}).
